zzbaron''s aquamarine engagement ring thread got me thinking about the costs involved in making a ring, especially labor costs. What do you think the cost of labor is for a far east mounting like LOGR vs. a handcrafted mounting like Leon Mege? I''m interested in labor costs only, not the cost of materials etc. Personally, I think that labor costs account for over 60% of the total costs for a handcrafted ring. I do not own any far east made jewelry, so I''m genuinely curious about the labor costs of those types of settings.
